CTWG60 0 Posted May 2, 2007 Don't tell a 38 week pregnant wife you need a respray. In fact don't tell her anything! In fact just say as little as possible other than Ahhh and Ohh Dear and "Would you like me to get/do/make/fix anything" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted October 16, 2007 I can quite believe that. After a rowdy wedding, I woke up in a room to be confronted by the bloke in the next bed to mine covered in blood. Turned out he'd had fisty cuffs with another wedding guest and split his head open, naturally as most of the guests were doctors, surgeons and dentists, he was told that it as fine and passed out. Ended up supergluing him back together at the brides parents house. And we're still all banned from the chichester park hotel ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTWG60 0 Posted April 13, 2008 Don't get up close and personal to your marine tank UV-B steriliser tube to read the model number to see if it starts with a "G" which would mean it is superbad for your eyes, whilst it is still on and wiping a load of ECU eproms for you to flash code to so you can drive to santa pod the next day. Result unable to open your eyes at 2am because it feels like pixies have glued sandpaper to the inside of your eye lids. And not able to focus and keep eyes open to drive to Santa Pod at 8am. :cry: You live and learn UV alright UV-B not alright! Car drives well now though with it's new code and redtops. :luvlove: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
